So I decided to actually get the 5/3/1 full E-book. Some of the things there are pretty awesome. I've decided that I'm going to re evaluate some shit, mostly about keeping in shape. Since I started gaining weight my cardio has gone to shit so starting now, I'm gonna implement a one per week Conditioning sessions.

As well I looked at what he prescribes for stretching an decided that I've really underdone it in terms of how much I need. Gonna change that as well.

Well, I was going to hit up a workout today (TBH I had no Idea what it was), but I've had a bad stomach problem the entire day. Hopefully It's not that bad... My diet went to hell today. I skipped breakfast, ate half a borrito at lunch, had a glass of chocolate milk, a protein shake and a snickers bar... thats it.

So today I was supposed to do shoulders but I got the worlds worst sleep, so I decided not to go in the morning. Instead I w\s gonna go at 7:00 and just decide then what I was gonna do. If I felt good, I was gonna do shoulders, if not, Arms. Instead I got there and I just felt like doing floor presses. So In stead of fighting it I actually just did my 5/3/1 cycle Five Wave One of chest

Alright so the past couple of months I've been fighting depression, I was thinking of starting a new log, but I thought I might pick up where I left off. Either way I plan on doing 5/3/1 again, modified for my injuries.

My goals have slightly changed, I looking to still build strength, however, I plan on losing fat as well.

The problem is that from tomorrow to next monday I have a shit tonne of work for exams and stuff so I haven't deloaded in quite a while. Anyways, I plan on coming back next monday fresh as can be and work from there. I just felt like starting up my log again now that I've stopped feeling like a total outcast.

K so in the past couple of months I suffered an injury... well everywhere at one once, my knees, low back, pecs shoulders, and neck all started to hurt at once. I was so tight that everything was hurting. Either way I stretched and foam rolled and massaged my way out of it, and now I can do the basic lifts again pain free.

These passed couple of weeks I've been retesting my maxes and now I have these.

I was also guilty of being the "program hopper" that everyone hates. Now I decided that I'm gonna do the 5/3/1 singles template, with BBB assistance. Also I will do a day dedicated to lats. Alright let's do this.

Keep on building those muscle and stay committed man! Do you mind telling us your weight, height and how long you've been training? By looking at the stats, you are one of the stronger teenagers out here on the forum, it would be a shame if you stop weight training. Following.

Alright so my quads are thrashed from yesterdays workout. I have about 40 degrees of flexion before the pain sets in. Basically there was an illness in my family that has been putting major stress on my mom, which has kind of affected my schedule as well. As a result I have had to start working out at 5am. Not a big deal; whetever it takes. Today I slept like 15 hours though cuz my body gave in from the lack of sleep. end of complaining.

Today I hit up a lats workout. I started with a complex of lat pulldowns, Cable curls, and calf raises. I did this complex 7 times, ramping up for a final dropset. Then I did 2-3 rounds more and left. Vid tomorrow.
